A STORY FOREWORD THE intervening
years since the World War have seen numerous histories
published setting forth the record of the American
divisions that took part in the struggle - including our
own, the 77th. We of the 305th Machine Gun Battalion,
which was an integral part of that famous Division, feel,
however, that some word should be set down as a fitting
memorial to the spirit of our old Battalion in the war
and to give us something of a tangible nature that we may
pass on to future members of our own families if nothing
more. This is not intended to be an accurate,
chronological history of the 305th Machine Gun Battalion,
as data of that nature is a matter of record and is no
doubt available to seekers of detail. Our story is more
of a personal record, a human interest story, as told by
members of the various companies comprising the
Battalion. In general knowing practically nothing of
things military at the outset the Battalion was molded
into a fighting organization with an esprit de corps
unsurpassed. Chapter Archives- From
